Anthony R. McMorries, of the 5000 block of West Superior Street, Chicago, was charged with burglary and theft. The more serious crime of burglary typically is punishable with up to seven years in prison.

A woman told DeKalb police she saw a man walking away from her vehicle about 5:30 a.m. Sunday at a gas station on North Annie Glidden Road, DeKalb. She noticed her phone missing, but police found McMorries with the woman’s phone nearby in a clump of bushes, court records show. DeKalb police arrested him at 5:52 a.m.

McMorries is next due in court May 21. He needs to post $5,000 to be released while the case is pending.
